Hey, all! This year’s book tour will be COMPLETELY in the Midwest! That’s because I’ll be taking a mid-May authors’ trip overseas this year — so my publisher is kindly keeping me closer to home (and keeping my jet lag at bay…I hope).

I’ll be presenting and signing at schools in the cities above as well as in St. Louis, MO (school visits only). For registration and/or details about the public events, go to these links (not all are up yet) :

May 1: Joseph-Beth Booksellers (Cincinnati, OH)

May 3: Barnes & Noble, Livonia (Northville, MI)

May 22: Cuyahoga County Public Library (Bay Village, OH)

May 24: Louisville Public Library (Louisville, KY)

May 25: Red Balloon Bookshop (St. Paul, MN)

In the meantime, you can pre-order SURPRISINLY SARAH here!

So here’s something cool: Invisible Emmie has been picked up (so far) by 14 different publishers around the globe. The UK edition came out at the same time as the North American edition (and looks similar). Here are 3 more that are on their way next! The German, French (look at that unique design, which I love) and Spanish covers are shown above. It’s interesting the way each publisher anticipates how its young readers will be drawn in (The German publisher was very adamant about having a teal cover). My only hope is that readers all over the world will ultimately enjoy Emmie.
